UK: Holcim UK has acquired PJ Thory Holdings. The company is comprised of three business based in the English Midlands: ready-mix concrete and screeds producers Gemmix and Pro Minimix and aggregates and haulage company PJ Thory. The group employs 130 people across nine sites, including a recycling centre.

Holcim UK CEO Lee Sleight said "This is a major acquisition which gives us much greater coverage in the East of England. Not only does it align with our ongoing wider growth strategy, it increases our ready-mix concrete footprint, provides vital sand and gravel mineral reserves and bolsters our recycling offering as part of an ongoing drive to increase our circular construction materials."
